Were Adam and Eve real people?

Or were they just an example of the first humans on Earth. I know Jesus was a real person, but I'm wondering were Adam and Eve real people? Please give respectful and nice answers. It's either they were or they weren't, no flame.

It doesn't seem to accord with any of the archaeological evidence that they were 'the first people', as far as I can tell.

OTOH I suppose -someone- was the first homo sapiens, and calling the first two Adam and Eve is ... well, one convenient label I suppose.
